The food cooked during the holidays is often enough to feed an army. Too often, hosts and hostesses prepare and serve much too much food, only to find themselves left with a refrigerator full of leftovers when guests don't eat as much as hosts had suspected. In order to avoid wasting food, many people attempt to create new meals from their excess holiday ingredients. Putting leftovers to good use can take a little ingenuity to disguise the reality that you're eating turkey or ham for the third...

This recipe is from an old bakery in Indianapolis that closed in 1999, but I still remember waking up on Sundays to my dad bringing home one of Roselyn's "Alligator" coffee cakes, and getting their iced cutout cookies as special treats. Luckily, when they closed, they sold a limited number of cookbooks and my mom snatched one up. Anyway, here is the recipe! – Jessica Schmutt 1 cup butter 1 ¼ cup shortening 1 ½ cup granulated sugar 2 tsp salt 1 ½ tsp vanilla 1 egg white 4 egg...

From the same team that brought you the hilarious comedy "Red Velvet Cake Wars", comes the new TCT comedy production of "Christmas Belles", playing this holiday season. A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle Sisters are not exactly in a festive mood. But in true Futrelle...

Frosty fall has crashed in on us once again, preparing us for the warmth and serenity of a Thanksgiving feast.

I decided this week I would not search for articles of my mother, Marion Deaver; but rather search my memories and write about Christmas at the Deaver house when I was growing up. Once, as an adult in my thirties, I remember the topic of Sunday School was about making memories for Christmas. I felt sad at the time because I couldn’t think of any specific memories of what we did on Christmas morning, which was the requested topic. I vowed to make it different for my children and have specific t...
